"Rita!!!..."
"And there we go... Yes it's me Rita now can you continue with what you want to say I need the full of gist and do not live anyone out of it" she said still smiling.
Luke seems not to be about everything that is happening right now " live me alone Rita. I owe you no explanation, just let me be..."
"Oh yes you do Mr luke and I would like to hear it out since you owe me....."
"I owe you no shit Rita, just fucking let me be....."
Seeing this Rita felt like something was missing in this conversation and she kind of knows what it was "you are scared he wouldn't like you back..... Eh"
It was at that moment Luke faced Rita with surprise eyes before looking down. This is a reality Luke is trying very hard to cover but Rita found out immediately without even trying. Was he that obvious.
Rita just smiled sadly as she took her seat beside Luke... "Am sorry, but I know it can be hard for you and everyone around you to acknowledge you for what you are but just know that there are many who has passed through this stage before and I was one of them." She finished talking looking at the window like she was remembering something that hurt her, then she shut her eyes only to open them seeing Luke now looking at her with wide eyes like a realisation hut him on the face.
"What do you mean by that.....huh all my life you don't know what it feels like ok. So you can't be me or you don't know what I feel" his voice sounded hurt but his high tone was met with a calm voice " I don't but I know the rejection from family...cause of who I am, I know what it feels to be lonely and not be yourself and most of all be scared or afraid of yourself and what others would say or think about you" she voiced out before finishing with this few last words "cause I've been there and had lived through it all my life so Mr luke I know how you feel".
Luke just kept quiet starring at the floor before speaking like he found his own voice that will into silent..... "Am sorry, am just scared of everything and everyone and most of all is am scared that he would live me as soon as he finds out his friend love him beyond friendship but into something stronger and I would be lonely again"
"I know ok, just give it a rest now... We have a lot to talk about so let's talk outside maybe at a cafe or something were we can relax and chill you know..... Cause this stair case doesn't feel comfortable against my ass. So what do you say" Rita say as she got up.
"Fine with me"
"Good let's go.... "
"Ok....."
They both got up walking out the school premises with the back door that leads to the car park where their car were.
Coming out the corner from where he was hiding Blake held his breath before releasing it out as he found the wall close by to hold him not from falling.
"Ohhh..... This is something"... He smiled like he found some kind of treasure.
......
"So start talking, I want the full details of everything right now.....and do not live anything out of it"
"I will try, but am not in guarantee of saying everything just yet."
**Hmmm** "fair enough, slow steps then."
"Ok it started when I was at still in Canada"
He talked on everything till he got back from Canada and when he met Nathaniel the very first day he came back..... Moving down to when they both went to the ice-cream cafe were he worked and how he served him and he was just feeling drawn to him at that time but now it is stronger than before.
When he was done he felt like he Spilled some secret that he shouldn't and to make it worst it was Rita of all people...
Rita was just smiling like a school girl seeing her crush in front of her...." That was deep bruh, it looks like you were in a love pool hahhahahaha"
"I hate myself now for telling you. Please let the ground open up for me to fall in....or someone shoot me, this is embracing " he said feeling flustered
" I felt that way when I saw my girlfriend... "
" A what now????..." Like sounds confused. Girlfriend.... But Rita must have said wrong cause she looks beautiful but she seems like a tom-girl and act like a guy but she is beautiful and cool she must have admirers everywhere. on less she a....
"Yeah am a lesbian, so any boy fuck off" she smiled.....
"Oh....." Was all he could get out of his mouth sounding surprised.
"Yeah, told you I know how you feel..... This kind of love is complimented cause everyone looks at us different and even our family members turn their attention else other than us. So yeah I know how that felt before I met Stacy" she said looking down "but this is not about me now it is about you".
Luke just look out the window with a small smile on his face "I will be fine ok.....I have been through worst and this is the least of my problem now... But what will I do if Nathaniel knew about how I feel about him, will he still stay or live I don't know that is what I care of." He said as he face Rita.
She extended her and holding Luke's hand with a small smile "don't worry things will be fine, if he lives am here for you"
"What are we now.... friends???" Luke asked
"Yes friends...and best of friends from now onwards" she smiled
"Alright Rita, friends we now are" and both laughed.
********
Later that day Luke went home feeling exhausted from a skipping classes and hanging out with Rita..... But never expected to meet Blake on the stairway having an annoying smirk on his lips that irritated him to the cord, he tried to walk pass him but was held back by his twin.
"Hey lover boy... Were did you go to with that bitch earlier"
"that's non of your concern loser, let go of my hand"
"I wonder if mom will love a fag like you.....or will she discard you"
".....just because you know am a fag doesn't mean that am scared of what you want to do, I have been through worst and it was from you too. Just go kiss your ass off in a pole or a brick" he moved closer to Blake with sinister eyes ".....I don't give a fuck about what you want to do Blake and read my lips, I will always be ahead of you in life big looser, try and see if you will still stay in the team when I out you to them" he said.
"You have no proof I did it..."
"Well I have somethings that you did to others and combine with my story your future plans will end in the spot..... Don't try me again brother, this is not a threat it is a warning from me to you. So stay off my part and besides I think mom knows about me being a fag so games on you" he said before turning and walking off from his brother's presence living him completely stun
Blake just stood there looking at Luke's back as he kept walking till he disappeared out of his sight.

Author's note:
This just get extra good. The daring and the talk and all makes me wanna do more you understand.
Like the coming out for Luke isn't to his family yet but his mind and brother knew but to his new found friend he just got after finding out that she was like him and felt everything he felt it made him feel human again not an alien living among humans. Thou this new found love felt new to him but he tends to keep it away from his best friend Nathaniel and this only made the dynamic of the story interesting so what would happen next and how will things go in the next chapter.
